It pains me to see
That you do not know just
How special you are.
You are more beautiful than
The most intricate painting;
More radiant than the
Brightest star.
Yet when you look in the mirror,
You do not like what you see.
You see someone who
Has failed and
Has allowed their life
To be dictated by negativity.
And it breaks my heart
To hear you say
You don not deserve to live;
That you are unworthy
Of being loved.
But you deserve the
Entire world,
And you are most certainly
Good enough.
I only wish that you
Could see yourself in the
Same light I do.
Perhaps then you would realise
Just how far you have truly come.
I know it is not enough
To say I love you,
Or hold you as you cry.
For it has to come from
Within you,
No matter how hard I try.
What I want is
For you to be happy;
To find a place where you belong;
Somewhere where you
Can laugh and smile
The way you do
With our favourite songs.
I say these things
Not just because I love you,
But because I know
What it is like
To wake up in the morning
And wonder,
"Will I even make it
To the night?"
While you are trapped
In the darkness,
Take comfort in knowing
I have been there, too.
And I hope you believe me
When I say:
"If I can make it out alive,
Then, darling, so can you."
